Netflix to Stream All 104 Matches of the 2030 FIFA World Cup in Spain and Andorra

Netflix has secured the exclusive audiovisual rights to broadcast all 104 matches of the 2030 FIFA World Cup, set to take place in Spain and Andorra. The streaming giant announced on October 13, 2026, that it will exclusively offer live coverage of the tournament's matches, complemented by pregame and postgame programming for enhanced fan engagement.

This move signifies Netflix's expanding footprint in live sports broadcasting, tapping into one of the most significant events in international soccer. While Netflix's strategy has traditionally involved acquiring rights to individual sporting events, securing the entire World Cup represents a strategic shift to compete for major live events on its platform.

The exclusive rights apply only to Spain and Andorra, with the agreement allowing Netflix subscribers in these regions to watch every match live. Additionally, the platform will provide pre-match shows, halftime analysis, and post-match commentary, as well as daily highlight shows on match days to build anticipation. To maintain free access for some fans, Netflix will offer one match daily at no cost, and a national broadcaster will also have the rights to air selected games.

The 2030 World Cup holds special significance as it marks the centenary of the tournament’s first edition, with Spain, Portugal, and Morocco serving as the main host countries. The distribution of matches across these six countries honors the tournament’s roots while positioning it as a European-African event. While Netflix's exclusive rights will primarily benefit viewers in Spain and Andorra, the streaming service's acquisition of these rights underscores the growing influence of platforms like Netflix in the distribution of major sporting events.
